Representations of the thunder
bird on various articles are made by
the Indians, to encourage them in
bravery or to insure the protection or
that bird, or the like. These, when
fully drawn, usually consist OF a large
bird, somewhat hideous, with a large
fish near 1t, but often only the head
and eyes were pictured.
Mr.. j. DeGnc, in the american An e
tiquariat for November. 1885, gives
a picture OF one on the front of an
Indian chiefs house at Alert Bay,
NancouveI's Island, Is. G. 1t is
standing on the skeleton of killer
whale, whose bones he is supposed to
have picked. Long ago, when these
whales were abundant, the Indians
We're afraid of them when out in their
irail canoes Knowing tie thunder
bird to be their enemy, the Indians
painted it On their houses, and even
o. their bodies, TO secure its protcc-
ton.
Capt. Dali, in the annual report of
the bureau Ct Ethuology for ISSI-2,
gives az illustration Of Il mask OBJ
tained by Commodore Wilkes from
the northwest coast of America, of
the bird form, symbUlical of the
thunder bird. The brows and bill
are black, and the caruncle over the
eyebrows, and the tongue within it,
are red, and 1t Is trimmed with swan
skin. having tho down attached. The
same writer gives another illustration
OF one obtained by Mr. Swan, from
Bella Bella, B. G. The paintings on
ut are quite different from those on
the previous ones. This form Of
masks Is quite common, as they are
used by the Indians i'll their black
tamGhnguS ceremonies.
Mr. swan, III his Makah Indians,
aud also in his Haida Indians, gives
pictures q this bird. One in the
latter work was taken from the talloo
marks on the back of Haida Iudiaa,
and another was taken from Il buck
skin cap which was brought from
Sltka.
The writer has a ston- war club,
also one OF copper, and the handle of
a tElrd OF bone. On the handles of
all of these are the eyes OF the thun-
der bird, 10 inspire the warrior with
courage, and perhaps to protect him
from the enemy. These clubs We're
obtained amongst the CIaIlam and
SkOkom-h Indians There is also on
the SkCkonish reservation large
s.ene which viii weigh several tons,
on which, in by gone days, have been
made the eyes and nose of this thun-
der bird, the eyes being about SIX
inches IN diameter. The Indians
formerly believed that when from
any cause this stone was shaken it
would cause rain.

depend. Fortunately perhaps for those that
succeed and it may be. unfortunately tor
those that fail. social position generally
depends upon wealth and education. It
seems Just that tho order of these conditions
should be reversed, bat it is 50 acknowl-
edged. Nevertheless it is quite true
that the trained mind. no matter in what
vocation it is exercised, will gain the
wealth.
In view of these facts it seems strange
that parents cannot see the folly of their
course in thus forcing their sons to a
life-work for which they are not naturally
adapted or inclined, which is distasteful,
in which there is nothing to excite the
ambition and arouse the energies and in
which there is no prospect of success. In
such courses lie the causes of so many
life failures. There is no reason in making
the man for the work. He should be al
lowed the vocation for which he is adapted
and be given every educational advantage
that can aid him in the discharge of its
duties. When parents realize this truth,
they will dismiss their false ambitions
they will study their own children more
and will institute those schools which
will aid their children in the development
of their natural tendencies and adaptable
tiles.

The plant is fully three feet tall, and on it
are six huge blossoms or punches of flowers,
considerably larger than a mans hat. At
one season they will be Of light green tint,
next they turn to a delicate pink. At the
third quarter they are green again, and as a
fourth change they are of an exquisite lilac
hue. There is no regularity as to what sea-
son they will be a certain color, as it is often
the case that several of the changes above
mentioned are seen at one time on a single
plant, although on different blossoms.

A Popular Predicament.

Many young man who is about to
start out IN life. after having secured a
college education it may be, hesitates and
is perplexed, not knowing what to do. If
he has pursued his education without any
definite purpose in view, he is very liable
to cast some reflections on the system I'M
der which he has studied, and in fact,
blame every thing but himself for the
predicament in which he is placed. lie
has never given self thorough study 10
ascertain his natural bent. He may have
been adapted to mechanics or to mercan'
tile pursuits, but following the advice OF
others has remained in ignorance of his
true sphere In life. Tie may have been
encouraged by parents or teachers to at
tempt law or medicine or theology. and
many have studied with such an ambition.
but when he comes to the threshold OF
either, he stops. The truth suddenly
dawps upon him and he regrets his posi-
ton. The professions themselves are
uninviting to him. They seem impenetra-
BILE they appear to be so we'll filed as TO
leave no chance Tor him. 1t is true. as
Was once said by ono Of the greatest
statesmen, that there is always room on
top. but the difficulty of getting there has
increased with the growth of the profess
sions and the large number engaged in
them, and. with his want of adaptability
his success in them IS doubtful.
But why do parents so blindly urge
their sons to enter the protessionsp There
is q variety of reasons sand every
one of them is falsely based up
on mistaken notions. 1t is the prevail
ing idea that to be doctor or lawyer is tc
gain a higher position in the social scale
than would be reached by being
machinist. II it is, it need not be. The
physician is generally better educated
than the machinist. but if the machinis'
were as well educated for his life-work as
the physician is for his profession, there
would not exist the real or fancie6
difference between the positions. Labor
in any department is dignified by tht
amount of intelligence that directs it, moi
only in supervision but in execution. Tit
very reason why mechanics or other trades
men rs general rule, do not attain the sue
cess that the professional men do. is thu
lack OF mental qualifications and training
Those who do succeed are those who, i,
one way or another, acquire these requisites
Superior qualifications insure success. II

which could been received in few years
had they at the proper age in life receive
that education which would have dc

parents urge their sons to the profession
from the idea that the professions al

can be no doubt that the financial result
